Hello All,
I am interested in building a new system based on Gigabyte Motherboard GA-P35C-DS3R or GA-P35-DQ6. I am considering DS3R over DQ6 primarily due to flexibility on types of RAM (DDR2 or DDR3) it can take. The system will primarliy be used for Photo Editing, DVD Authoring, etc. (No Gaming at all) Operating system will be Windows Vista Ultimate (32 Bit). Any suggestion on migrating to 64 bit version?
In this regard, I will appreciate your input on the following to build a Ultra High Performance System.
Processor : Considering Intel® Core™2 Extreme processor QX6850 however suggestion in this regard will be highly appreciated
RAM : DDR2 or DDR3 and then the make Corsair, Mushkin or do you think there are better manufacturers?
Video Adapter (PCI express) : Prefernace is towards ATI
Hard Disk : WD Caviar SE16 (Is it advisable to go for RAID (stripping) to get performance?)
Sound Card : Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic
Casing
PowerSupply
Your suggestions and comments in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Cheers,
Zahid Hafeez
